  1. Nice mix of stuff. TRA just seems to have to much power and not so much control when compared along side vasek. Great video.

    Zhao Xuan 2014

    Zhao doesn't use the bunny hop. He pedals up to rear. Totally different if your comparing the two.
  3. Is was almost as bad as the live streaming at the polish worldcup
  4. It was the warm up before the french cup
  5. You will struggle to find the crack if it's under your power coat paint. Might be better to remove it around the bb area ?
  6. anyone can explain anything with facts rather than opinions.
  7. So the side wall is stronger because of the outwards shaped sidewall? Or because of the shape they are less likely to dent? Can you explain this statement?
  8. Apparently there is a new member of British cycling in charge so can only be positive. But totally agree how annoying it was that it dropped down to 1 person who had already made his mind up that trials is shit.
  9. Main problem with comps in the UK are to many riders in the wrong categories. So they actually dab more than 50% of the gates. And as they find it so difficult they tend to not go through the gates correctly and end up getting away with basically cheating. It's difficult for the observers to be to strict on this as some and new and they get taken advantage on. Every one wants to win. Putting a dab down on the last rock rather than taking a risk of a 5 after a steady section is still debate able. If you want to improve don't dab and try 100% Competion are what it says on the tin. And people want to win so you can see the choice. Trials is a difficult sport and takes a lot of dedicated hours to get to a level of British nationals. You can't expect to turn up and be winning straight away. By making sure riders are in correct category they can build on their skills as the rise up the ranks. Which mean they will always be in the best category for their level and alot more chance of enjoying. Rather than a full card of 5 and a struggle all day. Trials organisation is fine in UK. Yes it could be better. But we should be greatful for what we got. To many miles apart and such a thin spread of riders at the moment.
  10. dynamic stretching is best for trials, starting slow and smaller movements, then progress these to faster and longer. static stretching can tear muscle fibres when cold. so search dynamic stretches online to get some examples
  11. That last one was more interesting. I don't thing he's gping for points on style.
  12. The brake lever has a smaller piston and a different pivot point to give more power. Also it's 62 grams
  13. And when you pull the brake it pulls the front forwards and down. Some times its the difference between jumping back and keeping it for me. I think they do some thing similar on motor bikes with the high jumps.
  14. I was lucky enough to get a tour a couple of years ago. It's such a great engineering company and British to. Would love to go again
  15. Going to be in the area and looking to ride and would appreciate any one to show me the best places to ride. The more riders the better of cours. Thanks dave
  16. Looks pimp. That's a rear tyre on the front though ha. I take it the axle fits. Gold and silver look nice.
  17. As I live in wales I'm only have coral rocks to ride. Never any quarry terain so yes sounds good.
  18. What I ment was is the riding only costal as in sea defences etc. Rather than the quarry type like portland??
  19. I thought the guy in he red who won was pretty impressive.
  20. Think I'm going down there for a wedding and was thinking I might take my bike. Where is tgere to ride? Is it coastal ?
